I doubt it because the majority of players who pick mega erebus pick it up for it's visibility, not it's looks. The appeal of mega erebus is that you can shove in those neon colours and make it pop out from surrounding visuals.

Has there been any progress in integrating this? I was hoping for 0.82 but that obviously didn't materialize.
Also, is Morphed still working on commissioned weapons? Would be nice to crowdsource some funds to let him also do the energy weapons and maybe modernize Super Erebus (and other playermodels?) a bit?

Why donate for monsters? Why not to replace the awful cells models?
The cells model is used since the nexuiz beta!!!

<Samual> I am the most unprofessional developer ever
<bluez> halogene, you make awesome music, but you have no clue about ctf.
<Halogene> I didn't know mappers include some mysterious waypoints so members of the BOT clan can navigate a map?
<divVerent> if you don't pay for a premium account, your movement speed is limited to 100qu/s

Morphed has agreed to replace the ammo models when we've finalized the weapon and ammo system changes (plasma still hasn't been fully implemented for the vortex, for example).
Also, the current ammo models at least look alright - the monsters were Quake 1 quality floating cloaks...

In the invasion gamemode, random monsters spawn from set locations and attack the players, with the winning score being monster kills.

Sorry for resurrecting the thread, but I've been interested on this gamemode and these new plans with new monsters ever since I heard of it in 2014.
I really like FPS arena games, but I was never very good competitively and as I get older my speed and reflexes are not getting any better, so a more coop-ish gamemode would be something I'd be interested to play.. even more so if it's also playable singleplayer.

I have this theory that the reason Arena shooters aren't very successful nowadays is because the hardcore players from the gold Quake & UT days are too old now to play well or don't have the time to do it while younger players are usually seeking for games that give instant gratification and are not so much into repetitive training to get good, preferring slower paced FPS or at least FPS with an interesting theme they like getting immersed in (I know some that need games to have realistic guns, for example). I think trying out new gamemodes that are a bit less competitive or that at least can have more of a coop aspect to them would help Xonotic.

Is there a way I can play this invasion "official mode as of latest Git"? even if it means using the old models, just to check it out. It doesn't seem to be in the list of gamemodes from the official client. Does it require a map that's not included or some console commands?

I tried them out, it's quite cool, although I couldn't see the score increasing for monster kills that you mentioned, I don't think I was actually running on invasion mode, just a deathmatch by myself, with some monsters (not many, not really much of a challengue). I liked the red coins to be collected in the sandlands.

Rocket Arena Xon map that I made has invasion in it. Back when I had time I was working on some invasion maps for a arcade like server. Still have mimiman on room somewhere that has invasion too. Not sure if its still the care but you might have to install the SMB mod to get invasion on your local install.
